North London Fire

[ah-media]

Anyone seen this on Sky News / News 24?

Shots showing the fire across the NLL just before Camden Road station.

Going to cause hell across the north of the capital tonight !

Eyewitnesses say that the rail bridge over the NLL is on fire ad:

LONDON OVERGROUND: Suspended between Richmond and Stratford between Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction and between Willesden Junction and Euston due to a fire lineside fire in the Kentish Town West area.
Tickets are valid on London Underground by any reasonable route

From the TFl website.

Camden Road Overground station has allerdgy caught on fire along with the bridge outside of camden road.

Information from Sky News,But pictures are showing camden Road Overground station on fire.

Service Still suspended and could be for the forseeable future

I prefer BBC news, becuase they're more in depth than SKY news

 

[Class315]

True,as sky are just repeating itself?

they keep mentioning the overground line

But i think the fire is between Camden Rd to Kentish town west as i just saw a picture of the junction,west of the station all covered in fire and smoke

I don't think the station has caught fire because it is a long way from the pub (The Hawley Arms) they keep showing. If you click on the link below it shows where the pub is, the line behind it is the freight only line between the West Coast Mainline and North London line between Kentish Town West and Camden Road.

There will only be disruption for passengers if the fire has spread far enough North-East to be on the North London Line. Won't be a problem for freight because they should be able to divert it around lines that are further north in London

Lets see who the first person to get some pictures of the station will be. Lets guess

the line behind it is the freight only line between the West Coast Mainline and North London line between Kentish Town West and Camden Road.

Thats right, its the Primrose Hill Link which goes over Chalk Farm Road, the NLL is luckily unaffected

Services running fine.

There was some more disruption on the NLL this morning (albeit just a few delays of no more than 36 minutes) as a result of the fire. Deary me.
